Does it really matter what model it was?
It's worth a few hundred thousand baht. What's your point in arguing? That you think it's worth more?
... Pointless pedantry.
For the first public hospital that I visited, I found out the time that the ‘clinic’ started and arrived there about that time and then waited about 2 hours (plus?) to see the doctor.
For further visits, I was given an appointment time.
On arrival, I was given a queue number and waited about 1 hour to see the doctor.
I have recently visited Bang Lamung Hospital . My first doctor’s appointment was easy for me as I had a doctor’s referral from another hospital. The nurse near the registration desk was very good – telephoned the doctor and gave me a form with some blood tests to do prior to appointment.
I believe there are 10 buildings.
I know Building 10 is the building for blood tests, and I think Building 3 is where I see my specialist.
Buildings have a building number, plus some Thai writing underneath.
There are very few sign in English.
Easy to get confused, even on further visits.
This same hospital had a mention recently – don’t know how to copy the post – look at my posts on page 3 on this topic:
Foreigner friend - Broken leg - No insurance - 400k+ medical bills - What next?
I mention a bit about a “gold card” as something on Google reviews of hospital (as translated from Thai) – looks like it may facilitate treatment – still don’t know what this is.
Don't need it at the moment as my appointments are being neatly arranged.
Previously, at another public hospital, I enrolled at their Special Clinic.
It worked well, much as described by Sheryl above.
I know it might be a bit of a revolutionary idea but I think they should abide by their own laws and the international conventions they have signed up to.
